small business workshop startups learning

Small businesses and startups are the life force of Australia’s economic development: stimulating growth, innovation and job creation. When small businesses thrive, industries evolve, local communities flourish and possibilities abound.

We want to help yours succeed.

With our internationally acclaimed Business Incubation program, coworking spaces around Melbourne, and our state-wide delivery of the Digital Solutions program and other vital business support programs, we can help your small business or startup at any stage of its journey.

Our Business Incubator provides you with a knowledge-filled environment to successfully develop your business. We set you up in an office space, provide you with mentoring to keep your business on an upward journey, and encourage you to attend our training events and join our inclusive community of entrepreneurs.

Within our incubator, we work with businesses in a wide range of industries, from food, beverage and events to agriculture and supply chain manufacturing.

Coworking space is accessible at our Greensborough facility. This is a dedicated, vibrant space that enables members to focus on their venture with the support of a thriving ecosystem. Monthly packages are available.

Our programs ensure you maximise your professional and innovative potential, our world-class events broaden your knowledge and network horizons, and our vibrant business networks create a high-yielding environment where you can focus on your venture within a supportive, thriving ecosystem.
